Newspaper Strike Lasts Eight Hours Deliverymen Strike Ended In New York NEW YORK (UPD—A strike of deliverymen against nine major newspapers in New York City ended today eight hours after it started. Settlement of the strike, which began last midnight, was reached shortly before 7 a.m. c.s.t. after an all-night bargaining session between representatives for the striking Newspaper and Mail De-, liverers Union and the Newspaper Publishers Assn, representing the nine papers involved. Picket lines, set up shortly after midnight, were ordered withdrawn and normal deliveries of afternoon papers were expected to be carried out. The union called the strike at midnight, when the old contract expired, after rejecting what the Newspaper Publishers Assn, had called' its “final offer.” Four hours later, the publishers association turned down a counter-offer by the union. Publication of both morning and evening papers continued despite the strike, v Nine other newspaper unions, at a meeting Sunday night, agreed not to observe picket lines set up shortly after midnight by the deliyerers’ union, thus insuring continued publication. There had been fears that members of nonstriking craft unions and of the American Newspaper Guild would refuse to cross picket lines. Morning papers affected by the walkout published their editions unusually early to insure delivery before the strike deadline. Editions published after midnight, however, were not delivered by the striking - union, whose 2,000 members service a circulation area containing more than 12 million persons. Offer 87 Wage Package Affected by the strike were the New York Times, The Herald Tribune, The Daily News, The Mirror, The World - Telegram and Sun, The Journal American, The Post. The Long Island Daily Press and The Long Island StarJournal. (In Washington, The Evening Star resumed normal publication after settlement of a strike by editorial and business employes which had forced a two-day shutdown.) The publishers association offer included a 87 wage package over a two-year period. The union sought a 89 wage package and fringe benefits totaling 81, according to Asher Schwartz, the union's chief counsel. 816.75 for the charge. Russell E. Austin, 59, Piqua, 0., was arrested Sunday for improper passing on U. S. 27 by the Indiana state police. He was taxed $16.75 for the offense after pleading guilty to the violation.

State Traffic Toll Low Over Weekend Only Five Traffic Deaths In Indiana Indiana’s weekend traffic death toll was the best in months, but Governor Handley’s “Traffic Safety Sabbath” was marred by five fatalities, among them a little boy hit by a car when he sought to retrieve a lost prayerbook. Hie rare weekend lull slowed down the 1958 death count march toward the 1,000 mark. The toll was a far cry from double figured lists which prevailed during weekends the last three months. Two Lake County fatalities were among the five. Thomas Nadolski, 7, Gary, dropped his prayerbook in a street Saturday as he walked to Sts. Peter and Paul Church Saturday. When he darted back into the street to pick it up he was hit by a car driven by Sam Bain, Crown Point., The boy died Sunday. Elmo Higginson. 33, Gary died Sunday in a hospital from injuries sustained Saturday when he lost control of his car on a Crown Point road. The weekend toll was so low it gave safety officials a slight breather in their efforts to reduce fatal accidents during December and stall off the I,oooth death as long as possible. The toll now stands around 950. Hie low toll also came during a weekend which Governor Handley had declared as “Traffic Safety Sabbath” in a recent proclamation urging clergymen to emphasize safe driving in church bulletins, prayers and sermons. Sunday itself apparently wasdeathless on the highways and streets of Hoosierland. David McLaughlin, 18, Greensburg, was killed late Friday when his car skidded on icy blacktop near Greensburg and smashed into a utlity pole. Alvond Wise, 47, Terre Haute, was killed Saturday when his car collided with a milk truck at a Vigo County road intersection near Terre Haute. Police said Wise ran through a stop sign. Dent Lawrence Lawyer, 5, Aexandira, was killed Saturday night when a car in which he rode was struck by another auto driven by Max Stofflet, 36, Chesterfield, at the intersection of Ind. 32 and Ind. 19 near Anderson. Police said Stofflet ran a stop light Stofflet was injured, along with the dead boy’s parents, Donald Lawyer, 29, and Carolyn, 28, and his brother, Eric.
